Steps In Making
- For Instant Jalebi recipe, prepare the sugar syrup first. In a pan add sugar and water and cook it on medium flame while stirring it occasionally for 6-7 minutes. The sugar will dissolve and start to boil.
- Add saffron strands, crushed cardamoms and cook till it forms a one string consistency. Which means when you check the consistency of the syrup in between your two fingers, it will form a single string.
- For the jalebi batter, in a bowl add refined flour and curd and mix well.
- Now add little water at a time till it forms into a smooth batter. The batter will have a pouring consistency but it shouldn’t be very thick nor thin.
- Add saffron colour and baking powder and beat the batter for couple of minutes.
- Now take a piping bag and pour the jalebi batter in it and tie the top with a rubber band.
- To fry the jalebis, in a pan add oil/ghee and once it’s medium hot start piping the jalebis in circular form.
- Let them fry for 3-4 minutes or till it’s perfectly cooked from each side and turned crispy.
- Immediately dip the fried jalebis in the warm sugar syrup and press them with a spoon. Let them soak the sugar syrup for a minute and then remove them in a plate.
- Serve hot!
Recipe Notes
- The jalebi batter shouldn’t be very thick nor thin, it should have a perfect pouring consistency.
- Make sure the batter is smooth and doesn’t have any lumps else the jalebi’s wont pipe properly.
- The sugar syrup should have one string consistency. If it is very thin then the jalebi’s will become soft, if it is very thick then jalebi’s wont soak the syrup.
- The sugar syrup should be slightly warm when dipping the jalebis. If it’s very hot then the jalebis will become soggy. If it’s cold then the jalebi’s wont soak the syrup.
- Don’t soak the jalebis in the sugar syrup for too long, else they will turn soggy.
